Quadruplets Unite: Mother's Words Are Law novel Chapter 179

Chapter 179 Scared Silly

Emmeline was seconds from hitting her head on the ground and cracking her skull open.

“Oh, no!” Closing her eyes, Emmeline let out a scream of despair.

Nevertheless, a pair of strong arms caught her fall, stopping her from plunging to the cold, hard floor.

Someone caught her in the nick of time!

The bearer of the arms staggered backward before repositioning their balance/

“Ah! Ah!”

Clinging to her lifesaver’s neck, Emmeline curled up in the person’s embrace. She could not bring herself to lift her head.

“You’re okay, girl.”

A deep and husky voice lingered in her ear.

The voice…

Emmeline abruptly lifted her chin and met the gaze of…

Abel!

She looked up with widened eyes as she stared blankly at the man.

“A…bel?”

“That’s me. Are you scared silly, girl?”

Abel looked tenderly at Emmeline with a smile, affectionate and doting.

“What are you doing here?”

Emmeline finally got a grip on herself.

“Thank goodness I was here. Otherwise, it will be like Humpty Dumpty has a great fall, and you’ll lose your front teeth.” Abel curled his lips.

“You’re Humpty Dumpty!” Emmeline felt a flush creeping up her cheeks.

Abel was amused. “Is this the attitude you give to your lifesaver?”

Hanging her head low in embarrassment, Emmeline nuzzled in his embrace.

God knew she nearly wet her pants.

She felt safe the moment she realized she was in Abel’s arms.

However, Emmeline was too stubborn to admit to it.

Abel gently put her down on her feet before tucking her hair behind her ear.

“Didn’t I tell you that it’s a dangerous job? You wouldn’t listen. Are you going to take my advice now?”

“I don’t have a choice. I need money.” Emmeline hit him with her sparkling eyes.

“I can give you money, but you refuse to accept it.”

Emmeline had no words. Why should I take money from you? It’s not like I don’t have money.

“Emma, are you okay? You scared me to death.” Simon drew close.

“I’m fine.” Emmeline shuffled her hair, soothing herself to loosen the tensed nerves.

“Mr. Ryker here saved me.”

Simon immediately expressed his gratitude, “I’m surprised to see you here, Mr. Ryker. Thank you for saving Emma. We avoided a big accident thanks to you.”

“I was just passing by. Ms. Louise should get some time off. I doubt she’s in a state to continue the shoot,” Abel said.

“I’m going to call it a day. We all need a break.” Simon broke out in a cold sweat.

How was he supposed to explain to Benjamin if anything were to happen to Emmeline?

Benjamin made it clear that he had to cease filming if Emmeline were to meet with any mishap.

God knew who on earth was Ms. Louise to have friends in high places.

She rubbed shoulders with Benjamin, Adrien, and Abel.

Abel meneged the Ryker Group, e mover end sheker in the business world.

Simon reised his hend to wipe ewey the sweet, feeling relieved efter whet hed heppened.
